Pros of working at Hallmark Cards

I loved my job in Leavenworth. I did my best throughout my 18 years of service. I gave it my all. I would never say a bad word about anyone.

Cons of working at Hallmark Cards

In my experience with Hallmark is that they tend to hire all family members. And most them are worthless and they are allowed their behavior. It's not fair.

Hallmark Cards benefits

My favorite benefits is that I was able to work with a lot of wonderful people. It was teamwork. The benefits used to be really good but has slowly been depleted.

What do you like best about Hallmark Cards's CEO and the leadership team?

I like the most about CEO's and the leadership at Leavenworth to be honest, fair, and they listened.

How would you improve Hallmark Cards's culture?

I would improve the dignity of people. I was hired on 1989-2007; when I was fired for something I didn't do or say to anyone. No one would listen to me. To my point of view. I never did anything they said I did. I supposedly said something to someone that I didn't even know. What they said I did was inexcusable and I would never say that to anyone. The loss of my job let me no self worth, no benefits, and a large sense of confusion as I didn't know what I was fired for. I called my supervisor three weeks later only to find out why. I was consumed with devistation.

How did you prepare for the Hallmark Cards interview?

I didn't really prepare for an interview. It happened so quickly. I filled out the application and was hired very quickly. We were new to the area as we were stationed at Fort Leavenworth!

What brings you the most joy at Hallmark Cards?

My friends, co workers, the fast pace of the position. I loved every minute I worked there..Then boom, was fired! How would you feel??
